Berry, Program Manager, Agape HIV/AIDS Outreach Program, Antioch Baptist Resource Ctr, Cleve, OH This presentation will address the vital link between traditional modes of HIV prevention education/outreach and the need to increase the number of faith-based outreach programs statewide, through partnership models, to provide culturally sensitive HIV education training and caring support groups.

Singing Your Own Song:

Preventing and Treating

HIV/AIDS with Tradition

Terry Tafoya, Ph.D., Executive Director, Tamanawit, Unlimited, Seattle, WA

In this interactive presentation, traditional Native American storytelling will be used to ustrate how men in different communities may require alternative approaches and structuring of information about AIDS prevention rather than a standard model approach. Using existing materials and strategies, without targeting them to specific communities, may not only be ineffective, but may alienate these communities.

Space is limited, reservations are required
